It's never fun to see your brainchild that you've worked so hard for removed from a prestigious awards ceremony like the Golden Melody Awards. It's even worse to see your own name defaced by the people you gave the success to the song to, and even worse to see the artist who was given the chance to enter the spotlight again with this song turn her back on you, and not tell the truth. This was pretty much what producer Skot Suyama had to deal with, some unecessary consequences for a song that he made with no ill intentions, just love and pride.

Here is the blog post Skot did about his feelings towards the situation:

"I don’t know if I’ll ever work with A-Lin again. Which is a shame. So many times, when I’m writing songs, I picture A-Lin’s voice in my head. Her voice is just amazing. She sings from her soul. She means every single word. So you can imagine I have so many songs written, perfectly for her. I was a little happy to hear that Avex was being closed down. Happy to know that the people who lied to the news, and screwed me are now without a job. But also not happy at the same time. I wish the whole situation had never happened. And for the record, everything that Avex said about me was 100% untrue. We have emails proving that everyone at Avex knew about Ting’s version Black Hole. We were VERY careful to make sure everyone knew.So why didn’t we fight back? Because my own publishing company, SONY ATV, said not to. They said they were scared to go to war with AVEX. I told them this isn’t a war. It’s just standing up to a bully. But Sony ATV was still too scared. They said they were just a small publishing company. That they didn’t even know anyone in the news they could talk to.. They said to me, that we should do nothing, that it’ll just blow over, that people will forget. But.. I didn’t forget. I’m still hurt and angry about this 6 months later. Later we found out that this whole smear campaign against me was just a way for A-Lin to get some free promotion for her FEEL-LIN concert in Hong Kong. I heard the Hong Kong tickets weren’t selling at all like they expected. So I was just expendable to them. After I had spent countless hours, making that song a masterpiece, and even dethroning Jay Chou from the KKBOX charts. So now.. Where are we? I heard from rumors and people in the industry, that A-Lin isn’t able to sign with a new company. That AVEX is going to sell her contract to the highest bidder! As much as I was hurt by A-Lin, for not coming out and saying the truth, I wouldn’t wish anyone to become a slave. To be sold.. That’s horrible if it’s true. And I have to believe it’s true, otherwise we would have heard something. There would have been a bidding war for her. Someone would have signed her by now. But she’ll either sign, or be sold to another company eventually. And when that happens, I wonder if she’ll have the balls to ask me to work with her again. Probably not. She probably feels too guilty and embarrassed to even ask. When we bump into each other in public, she’ll just pretend she didn’t see me, and walk the other way. And whenever her fans ask her why she didn’t work with me on her new albums, she’ll feel that ping of guilt.So.. this situation is just fucked. Everyone involved lost. No one came out on top. "

Just to add in my two cents, I can't believe that this is what record companies are reduced to. Making false statements that probably won't make them even half as much money as the one single that catapaulted A-Lin back into the spotlight again. Concert halls have a seating limit, but songs can be replayed over, over and over. I'm pretty glad that they're being shut down, but I do feel sorry for their artists. And as for A-Lin, what she did was unacceptable. I just don't understand why she didn't stand up for Skot when she obviously knew the truth behind the made up story that Avex put out. Avex probably told her to keep her mouth shut, but she knew what the right thing to do was, and she didn't act on it. I can't believe how someone with such emotion in her voice, such passion, who embodies impulsivity, creativity and love in her voice could do such a thing. I'm sorry, but it really sets her back a few in my eyes.

I remember walking to the bus stop on a beautiful,crisp,cold morning while listening to the song, just me and <幸福了然后呢>(the song in question), and I also remember how happy it made me, and thinking how great the arrangement was, how perfect the song was. But now listening to it will never be the same, as thinking about how some stupid materialistic record company ruined my favourite producer's image gets in the way of everything else at the moment. I just feel that people should know the truth, because at the end of it all , honesty's always the best policy.
